jenny holzer

I took a visit to the Baltic library as they have a huge selection of art books which is when i came across the artist Jenny Holzer. I photo copied that i liked and found inspirational which is stuck in my sketch book. I have put an example of her work up on here to show her style but the analysis is for the work thats in my sketch book.

What i love about these pieces is that they are onceagain writing based and official documents.In the statement of a trooper who is being asked questions.The topic is impotant i found it intreagingreading this.I like how the officialnotes have been written on and changed.It almost has a unofical feel to it, but also underlines that there wasa mistake happening, this could be representing whats being said in thestatement.

I also like official feel to the autopsy report, I foundit interesting a could consider using a similar technique in my work.
